The Park

Chris & Tyler hiking the hill next to the lake

Panting

Jumping off a high point into the water

Laughing

Tyler's thoughts:

Every day…

For the last several days now...

We've been kissing every day.

Every chance he gets to practice he takes it.

I've run out of fake lessons and critiques for him

So I told him he just needs to keep practicing until he has his moment with his girl…

I'm so selfish…

I'm seriously the worst best friend in the world…

I just… I know that soon he is going to stop kissing me…

I wish I was the girl he wants to be with.

Tyler and Chris Run into a smug looking young man (Gavin)

Gavin:

*Arms crossed

Well look who I happen to run into, it must be my lucky day.

Tyler, you owe me a rematch from our last kissing contest.

How about I go grab some girls and we find out who really is the best kisser this summer.

Chris:

*Blank face

Hmph

Tyler:

*Smug grin

*Crossed arms

Fine.

But this is the last time Gavin, I'm tired of seeing you cry every time they pick me.

Chris's thoughts:

Grrrrr grrrrr grrrrrr

*three cute girls sitting on bench looking excited

Gavin:

*Intense face

Alright Tyler! Prepare yourself for a crushing defeat!

Tyler:

*Eye roll

How about you shut up and kiss one of these stunning young ladies already.

Girls:

*Sigh

*Look ready to swoon already

Tyler's thoughts:

Well that was easier than usual… must be the summer heat

Chris:

*blank face

*Gavin kisses each girl, and they each look happy afterward

Tyler:

*Takes the first girl's hand

*Smolders at the girls

The girls & Chris:

*doe eyed

Tyler:

My apologies for Gavin's sub standard kisses ladies.

*Takes first girl's hand

*Pulls her close

*Hand to cheek

*Kisses

Girl:

Mmm

Chris:

*Eyes widen

*Eyes narrow

*Face begins to redden

Tyler:

*Pulls away with half lidded eyes on girl 1

Girl 1:

*Blushing, swooning, mess

Chris:

*Is walking away

Tyler:

*Spots Chris leaving

*Looks surprised

Tyler's thoughts:

Where is he going? It's not like he's never seen me compete before?

Chris:

*Stomping away from the kissing competition

Tch!

*Walks to a shady spot of grass under heavy pine trees

*Lays down and stares at the sky with an irritated face

Tyler:

*Finds Chris (eyes closed and calm looking)

*Sits down next to him

Tyler's thoughts:

… He looks… hurt…

Chris:

Did you win?

Tyler:

*looking smug

Of course I did. I'm the Kissing King of Coeur d'Alene.

Chris:

Hmph.
